First thought was: ouch, government data got leaked and added to the database.

can you tell a bit more about how you got scammed? I was in Cairo twice for business and our hosts organized nice trips through the historic sites and new museum. I intend to go there with my family one day

New comment by waschl in "Show HN: I built 184 free browser tools – PDF, image, dev, AI tasks, no upload"

waschl — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:43:09 +0000

Is there an way for me as user to be sure that the no upload promise holds? I mean yeah I could use the dev tools, but it would be cooler to have the browser eg prohibiting visually any upload of data beyond the pure url request

Sure that works, but it breaks the flow

It’s my daily news driver and the app I am spending most time in. Have to find ways to limit the amount of sources, though. FOMO is a factor.

Only annoying thing, but I guess out of this app‘s influence is that the embedded safari doesn‘t use the Adblock plugin. AFAIK that’s an iOS/Safari restriction. This leads to huge amount of ads on same pages I open directly in the app. Any clues maybe?

New comment by waschl in "Saying goodbye to Agile"

Isn’t Communism the original here? It’s often claimed that all historic attempts to establish Communism don’t work cause it wasn’t done in the right way.

In all seriousness, this pattern is probably hard to avoid in any reasonably complex entity/environment. If any such situation would be solved in a global solution (aka silver bullet), it would be used by everyone. As this seems not possible, any framework like Agile, Communism, … can only be a guidance to be applied locally, and broken internally and by external factors in many ways

I was never an RSS user until half a year ago. Now that’s my only way of browsing my choice of (tech) news sources and blogs.

That is correct. Before the nuclear exit due to Fukushima panic her government actually reverted the exit of the former government.

Skipped through the first pages and I really like your approach. Avoiding to use „magic“ libraries which abstract away a lot of the intricacies the lower levels is helping with the understanding.

I started my journey to develop my own little OS (https://github.com/jbreu/jos ) based on phil opperman‘s tutorial but quickly diverged from his exactly due to his use of such libraries.

Anyone can recommend a good quality camera without spyware and ideally open sw stack. I am willing to do it myself with little soldering etc. that’s one rabbit hole didn’t enter yet

New comment by waschl in "Going faster than memcpy"

waschl — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 05:08:20 +0000

Thought about zero-copy IPC recently. In order to avoid memcopy for the complete chain, I guess it would be best if the sender allocates its payload directly on the shared memory when it’s created. Is this a standard thing in such optimized IPC and which libraries offer this?

New comment by waschl in "YouTube No Translation"

waschl — Sat, 19 Jul 2025 14:00:04 +0000

YouTube settings are notoriously volatile even on the same device and being logged in. Subtitles are enabled every other day all of a sudden without any need (even for my natural language content). Since they rolled out the auto-trabslation thing the same happens, I have to switch to original English every few days.

That looks very impressive! Would give it a spin but as far as I can tell I can’t use it with my Rust os kernel running inside qemu

Welcome to the club! Did almost the same and really enjoyed the serenity of doing something which never will end up in a product
